Move-In Inspection
Moisture, electrical hazards, insulation gaps, and air leaks are all hidden hazards that could be threatening your home without you knowing. That’s because these hazards are in the walls, floors, and ceilings of your home as well as in hard-to-access spaces like attics and crawlspaces. With advanced thermographic scanners, our trained and certified inspectors can uncover these hidden anomalies and more to help you protect your health, family, and greatest investment.

FAQs
Yes! A Move-In Inspection is crucial before moving into your rental property as it lets you document the property's condition, so you gain peace of mind and can prevent unfair damage claims when you move out.
It is recommended to schedule your Move-In Inspection before moving into the rental property. Typically, you’ll have a specified timeframe to complete a move-in assessment and submit it to your rental company. You should schedule your Move-In Inspection during this time to help quickly identify and address any issues before this window of opportunity closes.
A Move-In Inspection assures quality and compliance with industry standards. It helps prevent future problems and enhances buyer satisfaction. With any rental property, many tenants are constantly moving in and out, causing wear and tear on the property. Ensuring the property is safe and ready for the next tenant is a great way to build trust with interested renters and potentially earn more rental income.
Typically, it is not legally mandated, however, it is a proactive step to ensure your rental property meets the highest standards and is ready for tenants to move in. We recommend checking with your local and state regulations if any inspections are legally required.
Move-In Inspections cover key areas and systems of the home, including the structure, interiors features, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more to ensure you have a thorough understanding of the property's condition.
A Move-In Inspection typically takes between two to three hours, depending on the property's size and scope of the inspection.
